HOME AT LAST
Views of home at front & back

 With many acres of greenery and fields to view and delight in, a doting family, others dogs in similar straits to be buddies with, food and shelter and care, we hope Kona will continue to improve.
Kona's picked her spot in the lower "kennel", looking thru the fence at the alpaca field
The lower "kennel" is a nearly an acre, gently sloping field side-by-side to the field where the alpacas live.  They are guarded by an Anatolian.  The lower field contains a spring which provides constant fresh water and cozy A-frame dog houses.  Grass and sun on one side, shade on the other and and a few old friends.
Travel up the path through the backyard to the upper kennel.
The upper kennel is tree shaded with sunny center spots.  Kennels are covered.   Lucky the hairless malamute (Cushings disease) was king of the kennel this day. 
Why aren't there more pictures of Kona?  Because she went to sleep in one of the cozy A-frame dog houses in the lower field and we didn't want to disturb her.  We'll have more in the future.

Kona at Home 11/02

HI EVERYONE…….Kona is a Happy Happy girl.  She has gained 10 lbs and not one sore is on her body.  She is on really good food, lots of baths, brushings and tons of love and kisses.  She liked to be in and out.  She has her own bedroom in a cozy cove next to the carport. She likes to sleep out because she gets so hot with her beautiful full coat.  The picture of her on her back shows how she has no sores, just healthy pink skin.  I want to thank all of you that took care of her when she was so sick.  Thank you to the person that first found Kona and saw the life in her eyes.  Thank you for Kona.  Her New Mom
